  • Correspondence analysis is an exploratory method for two-way contingency tables intended to display the association pattern between row and column categories. It has been developed for several decades mainly in France and Japan and, nowadays, is popular worldwide. For the special case, however, that the column consists of ordered categories, correspondence analysis may yield ackward result so that it cannot be fully accommodated. That's because the row and column categories are assumed to be nominal in the ordinary correspondence analysis. The aim of this study is to develop the correspondence analysis for two-way contingency tables with ordered column categories. It is based on two specific algorithms,

  • This study is concerned with the evaluation of predictive ability of classification models with ordered multiple categories. If categories can be ordered or ranked the spread of misclassification should be considered to evaluate the performance of the classification models using loss rate since the apparent error rate can not measure the spread of misclassification. Since loss rate is known to underestimate the true loss rate the bootstrap method were used to estimate the true loss rate. thus this study suggests the method to evaluate the predictive power of the classification models using loss rate and the bootstrap estimate of the true loss rate.

  • We are to present some properties of binary relations on fuzzy topological spares by means of categorical method. The concept of fuzzy topological ordered spaces was introduced by Katsaras[8]. In this paper we study some special categories, i.e, FTQOS, FTPOS, LSCQ, USCQ, SCQ, CQ, NQO, CRQO, associated with fuzzy topological spaces.

  • This paper deals with a mixed logit model for ordered polytomous data. There are two types of factors affecting the response varable in this paper. One is a fixed factor with finite quantitative levels and the other is a random factor coming from an experimental structure such as a randomized complete block design. It is discussed how to set up the model for analyzing ordered polytomous data and illustrated how to estimate the paramers in the given model.

  • We study categorical properties of the category SWQOS (S$\^$U/WQOS, S$\^$L/WQOS, resp) of (upper, lower, resp.) semi-continuous quasi-ordered spaces and the subcategory SWPOS (S$\^$U/WPOS, S$\^$L/WPOS, resp.) of (upper, lower, resp.) semicontinuous partially ordered spaces. We show that the categories S$\^$U/WPOS, S$\^$L/WPOS and SWPOS are closed under the formation of initial mono-sources in the category TQOS of topological quasi-ordered spaces, and they we mono-topological, complete and cocomplete epireflective subcategories of the category TQOS. We obtain their MacNeille and universal initial completions, as well as those of subcatego.ies S$\^$U/WQOS(S$\^$L/WQOS) and SWQOS, in which the topologies are T$\_$0/ and T$_1$, respectively.

  • In the analysis of contingency table with ordered categories, the relationship between odds for adjacent categories has received con-siderable interest. We consider likelihood ratio tests of independence against an order restriction on odds in 2 $\times$ k contingency tables.

  • The main characteristic of the ordinal scale is that its categories have a logically or continuously ordered relationship to each other. A continuous type permits measuring degrees of differences among categories. Also, the specific amount of differences is important. In this paper we consider the scoring method using a dummy variable based on distance among categories.

  • This article suggests application of logit model for analysis of multicategory responses. Referring to the reference category, characteristic of each category is obtained from analysis of polytomous logit model. With National Pension data it is illustrated that application of logit model helps it possible to find significant factors which may not be found only with polytomous logit model. Application of the logit model is done by reducing the number of categories. Categories are grouped into the former and the latter group according to reference category. Extra finding of significant factor was possible from logistic regression analysis for the two groups after removing the reference category. It is expected that this application would be helpful for finding information and characteristics on ordered multicategory responses where the proportional odds model does not fit.

Generalized Measure of Departure From Global Symmetry for Square Contingency Tables with Ordered Categories

  • For square contingency tables with ordered categories, Tomizawa (1995) considered two kinds of measures to represent the degree of departure from global symmetry, which means that the probability that an observation will fall in one of cells in the upper-right triangle of square table is equal to the probability that the observation falls in one of cells in the lower-left triangle of it. This paper proposes a generalization of those measures. The proposed measure is expressed by using Cressie and Read's (1984) power divergence or Patil and Taillie's (1982) diversity index. Special cases of the proposed measure include TomiBawa's measures. The proposed measure would be useful for comparing the degree of departure from global symmetry in several tables.

  • Gibbs sampling algorithms were implemented to the multi-trait threshold animal models with any combinations of multiple binary, ordered categorical, and linear traits and investigate the amount of bias on these models with two kinds of parameterization and algorithms for generating underlying liabilities. Statistical models which included additive genetic and residual effects as random and contemporary group effects as fixed were considered on the models using simulated data. The fully conditional posterior means of heritabilities and genetic (residual) correlations were calculated from 1,000 samples retained every 10th samples after 15,000 samples discarded as "burn-in" period. Under the models considered, several combinations of three traits with binary, multiple ordered categories, and continuous were analyzed. Five replicates were carried out. Estimates for heritabilities and genetic (residual) correlations as the posterior means were unbiased when underlying liabilities for a categorical trait were generated given by underlying liabilities of the other traits and threshold estimates were rescaled. Otherwise, when parameterizing threshold of zero and residual variance of one for binary traits, heritability estimates were inflated 7-10% upward. Genetic correlation estimates were biased upward if positively correlated and downward if negatively correlated when underling liabilities were generated without accounting for correlated traits on prior information. Residual correlation estimates were, consequently, much biased downward if positively correlated and upward if negatively correlated in that case. The more categorical trait had categories, the better mixing rate was shown.
